Specialized R distributions

Finally, if none of the previous options have worked for you, you may also use specialized R distributions. These distributions are maintained independently of the common R distribution and are focused on optimizing specific aspects within R. Some of them are built to provide fine-grained controlled for parallelization, and some do it for you automatically. Learning to use those distributions can be require a significant time investment, which may or may not be beneficial for your particular case.
